CDC Back-Burners Healthcare Facilities' Nuclear War Prep to Focus on Flu Epidemic
January 19, 2018
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) postponed its briefing on preparation for nuclear war and replaced it with guidance on responding to severe influenza, according to an article on the
